3 The Future is Yours to Create and Protect Retirement presents a new adventure and also a new challenge. Today there is a world of opportunity that is yours for the taking. At the same time, retirement involves very different planning considerations than when you first began saving for the future. Consider your income needs When beginning your retirement plan, it s important to understand how you will pay for your expenses. In retirement, it makes sense to: pay for essential expenses with guaranteed sources of lifetime income; and cover leisure and entertainment expenses with the extra money from your other investments. This graphic shows typical lifestyle expenses and assets that are well-suited to cover them.

4 Understand the Risks As you prepare your finances for your next phase of life, you want to be sure you are ready for the realities you will face. An important step in building your retirement plan is to understand some of the primary risks to your planned income sources. Longevity risk Outliving your income is a concern for many pre-retirees. As you plan for retirement, you need to factor in a longer time horizon due to increased life expectancy.

5 Employees are taking on more responsibility for retirement savings Once a reliable source of guaranteed income in retirement, employer-provided defined benefit pension plans are becoming a thing of the past. Instead, employers are offering defined contribution programs such as 401(k) plans. In the last 25 years, the percent of workers covered by employer provided pension plans decreased from 60% to 10%.

6 Personalize Your Future If you share some of these retirement concerns, you are not alone. Many pre-retirees are turning to solutions designed to provide more confidence and security in meeting retirement goals. In fact, according to a recent survey of pre-retirees, those who own annuities believe they have done a good job in preparing for retirement and are overall more optimistic.

7 Phoenix Personal Income Annuity Income Protection: Securing Your Future Phoenix Personal Income Annuity can help protect your financial future. You can choose to purchase a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit rider that will provide you with a guaranteed income stream for as long as you live. 5 These options also offer features to help you grow your Benefit Base, which is used to calculate your annual benefit amount and rider fee. 6 The amount of your income stream will depend on your Benefit Base, withdrawal factors and whether you elect a single or spousal benefit. 7 Depending on when you would like to begin taking income, you may choose one of the options below: Income Strategy: Today Cumulative bonus boosts the Benefit Base 6 in years 1-3 Additional 3% simple interest roll-ups in years 3-10 if no guaranteed income withdrawals are taken Accumulated Value $150, ,000 $130,000 $137,500 $145,000 Accumulated Value Income Strategy: Tomorrow Simple interest roll-ups grow Benefit Base 6 for first 10 years, if no guaranteed income withdrawals are taken $250, , , ,000 $240,000 50,000 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Contract Year Initial Investment Guaranteed Benefit Base 50, Contract Year Initial Investment Guaranteed Benefit Base These hypothetical examples are meant only to demonstrate how the riders are designed to work and are not a promise or projection of future returns. Assumes an initial investment of $100,000. Income Strategy: Today assumes an upfront bonus of 30% and subsequent bonuses of 7.5% in years 2 and 3. Income Strategy: Tomorrow assumes 14% simple interest roll-ups in years Product features, riders options and availability may vary by state. Consult your financial representative to determine state variations, restrictions and other conditions that may apply. 5. These riders are optional and involve an additional fee (a percentage of your benefit base deducted annually from contract value). Lifetime payment guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the insurance company, and only payments, not account values, are guaranteed. The fee may vary by rider. 6. Benefit Base is used solely to calculate your annual benefit amount and rider fee. It is not a guarantee of contract value and is not available for withdrawal. Benefit Base stops growing when you begin guaranteed withdrawals. Withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amount during the surrender period may be subject to charges. 7. Withdrawal factors may vary by issue age, rider and age upon rider exercise. Ask your financial professional for a personalized quote. 5

8 Phoenix Personal Income Annuity Flexibility: Meeting Your Needs Phoenix Personal Income Annuity offers you options that help you tailor your annuity to meet your individual needs. Guaranteed lifetime income strategy options You can choose to purchase a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit rider that ensures your annuity will provide a guaranteed income stream for as long as you live. 8 Rider restart feature If you find that you do not need income during the roll-up period, you can elect to restart a new roll-up period. At the time of election, a new roll-up rate and rider fee (not to exceed 1.5%) is determined which may be higher or lower than the current rate. Control over your account allocations You may choose to make changes to your account allocations during the reallocation period. The reallocation period will begin 30 days before your contract anniversary. Any changes you decide to make will become effective on the next contract anniversary date and will be locked in for the next segment duration. Changes to your account allocations will not be accepted again until the next reallocation period corresponding to the segment maturity date of each individual account. RMD flexibility Any withdrawals for Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) associated with this contract will not be subject to withdrawal fees or an MVA. 8 Growth: Accumulating Your Assets No negative performance ever Indexed accounts don t lose value due to a market downturn. This is because the minimum index credit applied to your account value is guaranteed never to be less than 0%. So even when the index shows a negative performance over the segment duration, your account value is unaffected. Any earnings grow tax-deferred until you take withdrawals. 9 Indexed accounts benefit from the market s upside Simply deposit a single premium into the contract and decide how you would like to allocate the premium among the available accounts. Once the funds are allocated to a given account or accounts, a segment is created. Phoenix Personal Income Annuity can provide the kind of earnings potential that may not be available with other sources of fixed income, such as savings accounts, certificates of deposit, or savings bonds. 10 When the index associated with your indexed account meets or exceeds the performance minimums over the segment duration, index credits are added to your account value. This means your potential returns can be significantly higher than a standard fixed rate of return. Fixed account grows predictably, guaranteed The Fixed Account earns interest daily at a specified rate of return that is guaranteed for one contract year. It offers modest growth with no market risk and a reliable, predictable return on your investment. 11 Product features, riders options and availability may vary by state. Consult your financial representative to determine state variations, restrictions and other conditions that may apply. 8. Withdrawals are taken from your contract value and guaranteed for life as long as you don t exceed the annual guarantee. Any withdrawals taken prior to the date guaranteed lifetime income starts will impact guaranteed income but will not impact the roll-up. 9. Annuities are meant to be long-term investments. When you do make a withdrawal, your account value will be reduced accordingly, and all subsequent index credits will be based on the remaining account value. Withdrawals are subject to ordinary income tax, and if taken prior to age 59 1 /2, a 10% IRS penalty may apply. 10. Savings accounts and certificates of deposit are FDIC-insured, which assures safety of principal and payment of interest. Savings bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. 11. You may allocate a portion or all of your contract value to the fixed account, subject to state availability. 6

9 Indexed Accounts The indexed accounts available with Phoenix Personal Income Annuity are linked to several different indices that contain a spectrum of underlying investments offering you a level of diversification. You can choose from the following accounts: One-year S&P 500 Two-year S&P 500* Five-year S&P 500* Monthly S&P 500 (one-year segment) One-year DJIA One-year Euro Stoxx 50 one-year Balanced Allocation You may allocate your premium amount into as many accounts as you choose, including the fixed account. Reallocating is allowed at the end of each segment duration. Calculating index credits Indexed accounts grow based on index credits that are calculated at the end of the segment duration and added to your account value. Your index credits are based on index performance and the parameters of cap, participation, and spread rates: Cap rate: Maximum percentage increase credited to the account, based on positive index performance. Participation rate: Percentage of increase in the index value used to determine the index credit. Spread rate: Percentage deducted from the increase in index value used to determine the index credit. Each rate is stipulated at the beginning of the segment and guaranteed for its duration. Rates are subject to periodic change, are not guaranteed and may be different at the beginning of each new segment. You should consult a financial representative to ascertain the current rates for each of the indexed accounts. How indexed accounts work This hypothetical example demonstrates how indexed accounts work to potentially increase your account value when the index experiences positive market performance and protects your account value when the index experiences negative performance. Accumulated Index Account Value Accumulated Index Value Total Guaranteed Value Accumulated Value End of Year This hypothetical illustration is meant only to demonstrate how the account crediting method is designed to work. It does not reflect any applicable rider fees and is not a promise or projection of future returns. Actual index values vary daily. Past index performance does not guarantee future results. It is possible to receive a 0% index credit for any or all segment durations. More information on how these accounts work is found in the indexed accounts supplement. The above referenced indexed accounts are currently available with Phoenix Personal Income Annuity. Phoenix may add, substitute or discontinue indexed accounts in the future. Certain states may have restrictions on investment allocation percentages. *Subject to state availability. 7

10 Other Important Information Up to 10% in free withdrawals 12 During your annuity s surrender charge period you may withdraw up to 10% (the free withdrawal amount) of your contract value, free of charges. It s important to know, however, that any withdrawals taken during an index segment will not qualify for partial index credit at the end of the segment. Also, withdrawals may be subject to federal or state income tax and an additional 10% federal penalty if they are taken prior to age 59 1 /2. Withdrawals in excess of 10% during the surrender period will incur a surrender charge, which is a percentage of the amount withdrawn, and are subject to a market value adjustment. Surrender charges If withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amount are taken during the surrender charge period, your account will be subject to a surrender charge. The surrender charge period length is 10 years following the issue date of your contract. After this 10 year period, you may withdraw the full amount of your contract value with no surrender charge or MVA. Nursing home waiver and terminal illness waiver (Not available in all states or for all issue ages) Surrender charges are waived (though an MVA will still apply) if the contract owner becomes ill and is confined to a hospital or nursing home for at least 90 consecutive days, or is diagnosed with a terminal illness (a life expectancy of 6 months or less), on or after the first contract anniversary. 13 Total Guaranteed Value (TGV) TGV is the minimum value available to you as a surrender value, a death benefit, or an annuitization value. It is equal to a minimum of 87.5% of the single premium accumulated at the applicable TGV interest rate less prior withdrawals and applicable rider fees. 14 The TGV rate is set at contract issue. The rate will range from 1%-3% and is guaranteed for the life of the contract. Annuity payment options Seven fixed annuity payment options provide a choice of periodic fixed payments for a specified period of time or for the life of the annuitant(s). The value available to annuitize is equal to the greater of the contract value or the total guaranteed value (TGV). Annuitization terminates any riders elected. 15 Market Value Adjustment (MVA) The MVA is applied to any withdrawal in excess of the free withdrawal amount during the surrender charge period. It is calculated based on the difference in interest rates at the time of withdrawal and interest rates at the inception of the contract, and may be positive or negative. Please review the product summary, which details surrender charges and complete product information and is required to accompany this brochure. 12. At the time of full surrender, any penalty-free withdrawals taken during the prior 12 months will be assessed a surrender charge. 13. Proof of claim may be required prior to exercise. 14. In some states, rider fees will not be deducted in the calculation of TGV. In California, the TGV will be subject to a Market Value Adjustment (MVA). Please see the product summary for state-specific details. 15. In some states, an MVA and surrender charge will be applied to contracts annuitized during the first five contract years or for a payment period of less than 10 years. After that, the amount available to fund an annuity option will be the greater of the contract value or the TGV. Please see the product summary for applicable states. 8
